Zusammenfassung: This major symposium is in honor of the distinguished work and lifetime achievements of Prof. Derek Fray. Professor Fray is a well known figure for his deeply impact in materials extraction and processing world. He is author of almost 400 scientific papers and inventor on approximately 179 patents arising from 62 families of patents. He is Fellow of some of the most prestigious professional societies around the world. Throughout his career his activity has impacted various fields such as non-ferrous, ferrous and nano-scale materials processing; many processing routes including pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, chemical vapor synthesis and processing, recycling; and several investigation techniques such as experimental measurements and physical modeling and simulation. Reflecting this rich activity the scope of this symposium will be based in the equally important three topical areas: principles, technologies and industrial practice with special emphasis to a globally sought clean environment of 21 century. It will include but it is not limited to, non-ferrous metal extraction, processing and sulfide smelting (including light metals, PMG and Ferro alloys); iron and steel production; mineral processing; chemical and metallurgical process reactors; refractory materials; recycling, waste treatment, soil remediation and biotechnologies; chemistry of power and energy generation; composite, hybrid, polymeric, ceramic materials and nanomaterials; value addition and advanced materials; legal and management, and environmental related issues.
